 ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

 The  Registrant, Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership I,  L.P.
 (the  "Partnership"), is a limited partnership formed in August
 1983 under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State  of
 Delaware   for   the   purpose  of   investing   primarily   in
 income-producing office, industrial and retail properties.

 The  Managing General Partner of the Partnership is Dean Witter
 Realty   Income  Properties  I  Inc.  (the  "Managing   General
 Partner"), a Delaware corporation which is wholly owned by Dean
 Witter  Realty Inc. ("Realty").  The Associate General  Partner
 is Dean Witter Realty Income Associates I, L.P. (the "Associate
 General  Partner"), a Delaware limited partnership, the general
 partner  of  which  is Dean Witter Realty Income  Associates  I
 Inc.,   a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  the  Managing  General
 Partner.  The Managing General Partner manages and controls all
 aspects  of  the  business  of the Partnership.  The  terms  of
 transactions between the Partnership and its affiliates are set
 forth  below  in  footnote  8  to  the  Consolidated  Financial
 Statements in Item 8 and in Item 13 below.

 The  Partnership  issued  92,780 units of  limited  partnership
 interest (the "Units") with gross proceeds from the offering of
 $92,780,000. The offering has been terminated and no additional
 Units will be sold.

 The  proceeds  from  the  offering were  used  to  make  equity
 investments in four office properties, two office/research  and
 development  properties  and  one retail  property  which  were
 acquired  without  mortgage debt.  Except for  the  North  Lake
 Plaza property (which is described in Item 2 below), all of the
 Partnership's  properties were sold to unaffiliated  purchasers
 prior to October 31, 1998.

 The  Partnership is currently marketing for sale the North Lake
 Plaza  property, with the objective of completing the  sale  of
 the  property  in fiscal year 1999.  There can be no  assurance
 that the property will be sold.

 The  Partnership considers its business to include one industry
 segment,  investment  in real property.  Financial  information
 regarding  the  Partnership is included  in  the  Partnership's
 Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 below.
<PAGE>
 The  North  Lake Plaza property is subject to competition  from
 similar  retail  properties in the  vicinity  in  which  it  is
 located.  Further information regarding competition and  market
 conditions where the property is located is set forth  in  Item
 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
 and Results of Operations."

 The Partnership has no employees.

 All  of  the Partnership's business is conducted in the  United
 States.

 ITEM 2.  PROPERTY

 The  Partnership's principal offices are located at  Two  World
 Trade Center, New York, New York 10048.  The Partnership has no
 other offices.

 As  of  October  31, 1998, the Partnership owned  directly  the
 North  Lake  Plaza  property,  a  shopping  center  located  in
 Altamonte Springs, FL.  The acquisition was completed  in  1986
 for  a  cost of approximately $10,110,000.  The property has  a
 net rentable area of 137,000 square feet, and was built with on-
 site parking facilities.

 Generally,  the leases pertaining to the property  provide  for
 pass-throughs to the tenants of their pro-rata share of certain
 operating  expenses.   In the opinion of the  Managing  General
 Partner, the property is adequately covered by insurance.

 Currently,  an  affiliate of the Partnership  is  the  property
 manager for the North Lake Plaza property.

 In  fiscal 1997, the Partnership sold the three office/research
 and  development  buildings comprising the  Arlington  Business
 Center  in  Arlington Heights IL. and the Century Square  joint
 venture, in which the Partnership had a 25% general partnership
 interest, sold its office building in Pasadena, CA.

 In   fiscal   1998,  the  Partnership  sold  the  Westwood   10
 office/research and development building (located in  Westwood,
 MA),  the  Carmel  Park I and II office buildings  (located  in
 Charlotte, NC), and the Harborgate office building (located  in
 Los Angeles, CA).


<PAGE>
 Further information relating to the Partnership's properties is
 included  in  Item  7  and Footnote  4,  5,  6  and  7  to  the
 Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 below.

 ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 On  December  27, 1995, a purported class action  lawsuit  (the
 "Grigsby   Action")   naming   various   public   real   estate
 partnerships sponsored by Realty (including the Partnership and
 its  Managing  General Partner and Associate General  Partner),
 Realty,  Dean  Witter  Reynolds  Inc.  ("DWR")  and  others  as
 defendants  was  filed in Superior Court  in  California.   The
 complaint    alleged    fraud,   negligent   misrepresentation,
 intentional  and  negligent breach of  fiduciary  duty,  unjust
 enrichment  and  related  claims and  sought  compensatory  and
 punitive  damages  in unspecified amounts  and  injunctive  and
 other equitable relief.  The defendants removed the case to the
 United  States  District  Court for the  Southern  District  of
 California.   Pursuant to an order of the U.S.  District  Court
 for  the Southern District of California entered May 24,  1996,
 the  Grigsby Action was transferred to the U.S. District  Court
 for the Southern District of New York.

 On  February  14, 1996, a purported class action  lawsuit  (the
 "Schectman   Action")  naming  various   public   real   estate
 partnerships sponsored by Realty (including the Partnership and
 its Managing General Partner), Realty, Dean Witter, Discover  &
 Co.  (now known as Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., "MWD") and
 DWR  as  defendants was filed in the Chancery Court of Delaware
 for  New  Castle  County (the "Delaware Chancery  Court").   On
 February 23, 1996, a purported class action lawsuit (the "Dosky
 Action")   naming  various  public  real  estate   partnerships
 sponsored by Realty (including the Partnership and its Managing
 General Partner), Realty, MWD, DWR and others as defendants was
 filed in the Delaware Chancery Court.  On February 29, 1996,  a
 purported  class  action  lawsuit (the "Segal  Action")  naming
 various  public  real estate partnerships sponsored  by  Realty
 (including  the Partnership and its Managing General  Partner),
 Realty,  MWD,  DWD and others as defendants was  filed  in  the
 Delaware Chancery Court.  On March 13, 1996, a purported  class
 action  lawsuit  (the "Young Action") naming  the  partnership,
 other unidentified limited partnerships, MWD, DWR and others as
 defendants was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City in
 Baltimore,  Maryland.  The defendants removed the Young  Action
 to  the  United  States  District Court  for  the  District  of
 Maryland.


<PAGE>
 Thereafter,  the  Schectman Action, the Dosky  Action  and  the
 Segal  Action  were  consolidated  in  a  single  action   (the
 "Consolidated  Action") in the Delaware  Chancery  Court.   The
 Young  Action was dismissed without prejudice.  The  plaintiffs
 in   the  Young  Action  and  the  Grigsby  Action  joined  the
 Consolidated   Action.   The  Grigsby  Action  remains   stayed
 indefinitely subject to being reopened for good cause.

 On  October 7, 1996, the plaintiffs in the Consolidated  Action
 filed  a  First Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint
 naming  various  public real estate partnerships  sponsored  by
 Realty  (including  the Partnership and  its  Managing  General
 Partner),  Realty,  MWD, DWR and others  as  defendants.   This
 complaint  alleges  breach  of  fiduciary  duty  and  seeks  an
 accounting  of profits, compensatory damages in an  unspecified
 amount,  possible  liquidation  of  the  Partnership  under   a
 receiver's   supervision  and  other  equitable  relief.    The
 defendants filed a motion to dismiss this complaint on December
 10, 1996.

 On  July  17,  1998,  the Delaware Chancery Court  granted  the
 defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint in the Consolidated
 Action.   The  plaintiffs filed a notice  of  appeal  from  the
 Chancery  Court's order on August 14, 1998.  Oral  argument  on
 the  appeal was heard by the Delaware Supreme Court on  January
 5,  1999.   The  Delaware Supreme Court affirmed  the  Chancery
 Court's  dismissal  of the Consolidated Action  on  January  6,
 1999.


 ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

 No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal
 year to a vote of Unit holders.

                       PART II.

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
         STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

An  established  public trading market for  the  Units  does  not
exist,  and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop
in  the future.  Accordingly, information as to the market  value
of  a  Unit  at  any given date is not available.   However,  the
Partnership  does  allow  its  limited  partners  (the   "Limited
Partners")  to transfer their units if a suitable  buyer  can  be
located.

<PAGE>
As  of  January  5,  1999, there were 13,277 holders  of  limited
partnership interests.

The  Partnership is a limited partnership and, accordingly,  does
not  pay dividends.  It does, however, make distributions of cash
to   its   partners.   Pursuant  to  the  partnership  agreement,
distributable  cash,  as  defined, is paid  90%  to  the  Limited
Partners   and   10%  to  the  general  partners  (the   "General
Partners").

The  Partnership paid cash distributions during  the  year  ended
October  31, 1998 aggregating $418.03 per Unit (including $405.78
per  Unit  from proceeds from the sales of the Arlington Business
Center,  Carmel  Park  I  and  II,  Westwood  10  and  Harborgate
properties,  which was paid 100% to the Limited  Partners).   The
total   distributions  aggregated  $38,911,108  with  $38,784,823
distributed  to the Limited Partners and $126,285 to the  General
Partners.   For the year ended October 31, 1997, the  Partnership
paid  cash  distributions aggregating $144.61 per Unit (including
$110.05  per  Unit  from proceeds from the sale  of  the  Century
Square  property,  which was paid 100% to the Limited  Partners).
The  total  distributions aggregated $13,773,673 with $13,417,293
distributed  to the Limited Partners and $356,380 to the  General
Partners.

The Partnership did not make a distribution of distributable cash
following  the  fiscal  1998  first  quarter  distribution  (paid
February   1998),   and  does  not  anticipate   making   regular
distributions  to its partners in the future.  Generally,  future
cash  distributions will be paid from proceeds received from  the
sale of the North Lake Plaza property and cash reserves.

Sale  or  financing  proceeds  are  distributed,  to  the  extent
available, first, to each Limited Partner, until there has been a
return  of  the  Limited  Partner's  capital  contribution   plus
cumulative  distributions  of  distributable  cash  and  sale  or
financing  proceeds  in  an amount sufficient  to  provide  a  9%
cumulative  annual  return  on  the  Limited  Partner's  adjusted
capital   contribution.   Thereafter,  any  remaining   sale   or
financing  proceeds  will  be  distributed  85%  to  the  Limited
Partners  and  15%  to the General Partners  after  the  Managing
General Partner receives a brokerage fee, if earned, of up to  3%
of the selling price of any equity investment.

Taxable income generally is allocated in the same proportions  as
distributions of distributable cash or sale or financing proceeds
(except  that the General Partners must be allocated at least  1%
of  taxable income from sales or financings).  In the event there
is no distributable cash or sale or financing
<PAGE>
<TABLE>
proceeds,  taxable income will be allocated 90%  to  the  Limited
Partners and 10% to the General Partners.  Any tax loss  will  be
allocated  90%  to the Limited Partners and 10%  to  the  General
Partners.

<PAGE>
ITEM   7.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL
CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership raised $92,780,000 in a public offering which was
terminated  in  1984.   The Partnership has  no  plans  to  raise
additional capital.

The  Partnership purchased six properties and made one investment
in  the partnership which owned the Century Square property on an
all-cash  basis.  The Partnership's acquisition program has  been
completed.  No additional investments are planned.

The  1718  Connecticut property was sold  in  fiscal  1996.   The
Centry Square and Arlington Business Center properties were  sold
in  fiscal  1997.   The Carmel Park I and II,  Westwood  10,  and
Harborgate properties were sold in fiscal 1998.  See Notes 5  and
6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.

As  a  result of the property sales, Partnership cash  flow  from
operations decreased during fiscal 1998 compared to 1997.

The  Managing General Partner is currently marketing for sale the
North  Lake Plaza property, with the objective of completing  the
sale of the property in fiscal year 1999.  However, there can  be
no assurance that the property will be sold.

Currently,  the  vacancy rate in the retail market  in  Altamonte
Springs,  Florida, the location of the North Lake Plaza  Shopping
Center, is approximately 10%, and market rental rates continue to
be  stable.   At October 31, 1998, occupancy at the property  was
84%  (an  increase of 5% from October 31, 1997).  Development  of
nearby office projects and the scheduled expansion of North  Lake
Boulevard (which borders the shopping center) are anticipated  to
increase traffic at the property.  The lease for Home Depot  (for
approximately 50% of the property's space) is scheduled to expire
in  2003.   Home  Depot  continues  to  sub-lease  its  space  to
Burlington  Coat Factory but will remain obligated  to  pay  rent
under the lease.  The lease of Marshalls Inc., (for approximately
21%  of  the space) is scheduled to expire in 2002.  The property
is  leased to 9 other tenants; no other tenant occupies more than
10% of the property's space.



<PAGE>
During  the year ended October 31, 1998, all of the Partnership's
properties generated positive cash flow from operations,  and  it
is  anticipated that the North Lake Plaza property will  continue
to do so during the period the Partnership continues to own it.

During  the year ended October 31, 1998, the Partnership incurred
capital  expenditures  of approximately $833,000,  primarily  for
tenant-related capital expenditures at the Harborgate property.

During the year ended October 31, 1998, the Partnership paid cash
distributions of cash flow from operations and proceeds from sale
of properties.  See Item 5.

During  the  year  ended  October  31,  1998,  the  Partnership's
distributions  to  partners  (excluding  distributions  of  sales
proceeds)  and capital expenditures exceeded its cash  flow  from
operations.   This  deficiency was funded from  Partnership  cash
reserves.

As  of October 31, 1998, the Partnership has commitments to  fund
approximately $192,000 of capital expenditures at the North  Lake
Plaza property.

In  order  to increase cash reserves to fully fund its  potential
liability  for   capital expenditures and other Partnership  cash
requirements,  the  Partnership stopped paying  distributions  of
distributable   cash   after  the  fiscal  1998   first   quarter
distribution  (paid in February 1998), and withheld approximately
$1,000,000 from the distribution of proceeds from the sale of the
Harborgate  property.  Generally, future cash distributions  will
be  paid  from proceeds received from the sale of the North  Lake
Plaza property and cash reserves.

Deferred leasing commissions, other assets, accounts payable  and
accrued  liabilities and security deposits payable  decreased  in
1998 as a result of the sales of properties.

Except  as  discussed  above  and in the  consolidated  financial
statements,  the  Managing General Partner is not  aware  of  any
trends  or events, commitments or uncertainties that may  have  a
material impact on liquidity.

Operations

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for the  year
ended  October  31,  1998 compared to 1997  and  the  year  ended
October 31, 1997 compared to 1996 were primarily attributable  to
the following:
<PAGE>
During  the year ended October 31, 1998, rental income,  property
operating  expenses  and depreciation and  amortization  expenses
decreased  as  a  result of the sales of the  Arlington  Business
Center  (sold  in  October 1997), Westwood 10, Carmel  Park,  and
Harborgate  properties.  Rental revenues and  property  operating
expenses  decreased in 1997 primarily because of the  absence  of
revenues  and  costs from the 1718 Connecticut  Avenue  property,
which  was  sold  in June 1996.  See Note 5 to  the  Consolidated
Financial Statements.

The  gains  on sales of real estate in fiscal 1998 resulted  from
the  sales  of  the  Carmel  Park,  Harborgate  and  Westwood  10
properties.  In 1997 and 1996, the gains on sales of real  estate
resulted from the sales of the Arlington Business Center and 1718
Connecticut Avenue properties, respectively.  See Note 5  to  the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

There  was no equity in earnings of joint venture income in 1998.
Equity in earnings of joint venture increased in 1997 compared to
1996  as a result of the Partnership's share (approximately  $2.2
million)  of the gain from the sale of the Century Square  office
building.  See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest and other income decreased in 1998 primarily because the
Partnership's  interest earned in 1997 on the proceeds  from  the
sale  of  the  Century Square property (until such proceeds  were
distributed to Limited Partners) exceeded interest earned in 1998
on the proceeds from the sale of properties.

Depreciation and amortization decreased in 1997 compared to  1996
by approximately $252,000 because of the impairment writedown for
the  Westwood  10,  North Lake Plaza and Carmel  Park  properties
recorded  at  the end of the first quarter of 1996.  Depreciation
and amortization also decreased in 1997 by approximately $154,000
due to the sale of the 1718 Connecticut Avenue property. No other
individual   significant  factors  account  for   the   remaining
decreases in 1997.

In  June  1996,  the Partnership repaid its loan from  affiliate;
therefore, the Partnership incurred no interest expense  in  1997
and 1998.

In  the  first  quarter of fiscal 1996, the Partnership  recorded
losses  on  impairment  of  the Westwood  10,  1718  Connecticut,
Northlake Plaza and Carmel Park properties totaling $8,510,000.


<PAGE>
No  individual  factor  accounted for  a  significant  change  in
general  and administrative expenses from 1998 to 1997  and  from
1997 to 1996.

During  the year ended October 31, 1998, the North Lake  property
incurred   rental  revenues,  property  operating  expenses   and
depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $978,000,
$290,000 and $165,000.

Inflation

Inflation  has been consistently low during the periods presented
in  the  financial statements and, as a result,  has  not  had  a
significant  effect on the operations of the Partnership  or  its
properties.

Independent Auditors' Report


To The Partners of
Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership I, L.P.:


We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Dean  Witter  Realty Income Partnership I, L.P. and consolidated
partnership (together, the "Partnership") as of October 31, 1998
and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended October 31, 1998.  Our audits also included the
financial  statement schedule listed in the  Index  at  Item  8.
These financial statements and financial statement schedule  are
the   responsibility  of  the  Partnership's  management.    Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial
statements  and the financial statement schedule  based  on  our
audits.

We  conducted  our audits in accordance with generally  accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require that we  plan  and
perform  the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about  whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.   An
audit  includes examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting
the  amounts  and disclosures in the financial  statements.   An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as  evaluating
the  overall financial statement presentation.  We believe  that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion, such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dean
Witter  Realty  Income  Partnership  I,  L.P.  and  consolidated
partnership as of October 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results  of
their  operations  and their cash flows for each  of  the  three
years  in  the period ended October 31, 1998 in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion,
such  financial statement schedule, when considered in  relation
to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
presents  fairly  in all material respects the  information  set
forth therein.

Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership I, L.P. (the "Partnership")
is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware  in  1983.  The Partnership is managed  by  Dean  Witter
Realty Income Properties I Inc. (the "Managing General Partner").
The Partnership's fiscal year ends on October 31.

In   1984,  the  Partnership  issued  92,780  units  of   limited
partnership   interest  (the  "Units")   for   $92,780,000.    No
additional Units will be sold.  The proceeds of the offering were
used  to  make  equity  investments in  income-producing  office,
industrial  and  retail properties which were not  encumbered  by
debt when acquired.

The  Partnership  expects  to  sell  its  remaining  real  estate
investment  in 1999.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement,  the
sale  of  the Partnership's last such investment will  cause  the
dissolution of the Partnership.  Thereafter, the Partnership will
wind  up  its  affairs,  make  a  final  cash  distribution,  and
terminate.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The  financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership
and,  prior  to  1997, 1718 Connecticut, Ltd. on  a  consolidated
basis.  The  Partnership's 25% interest  in  the  Century  Square
property  was accounted for on the equity method, until its  sale
in fiscal 1997.

The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis  of
accounting  for  financial  reporting  and  tax  purposes.    The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to   make
estimates  and  assumptions that affect the reported  amounts  of
assets  and  liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets  and
liabilities  at  the  date of the financial  statements  and  the
reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during  the  reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash  and  cash  equivalents consist of cash  and  highly  liquid
investments with maturities, when purchased, of three  months  or
less.

      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


The  carrying  value of real estate includes the  purchase  price
paid by the Partnership and acquisition fees and expenses.  Costs
of  improvements to the properties are capitalized,  and  repairs
are  expensed.   Depreciation is recorded  on  the  straight-line
method.   The  Partnership  stops  recording  depreciation  on  a
property when it is reclassified as real estate held for sale.

At  least annually, and more often if circumstances dictate,  the
Partnership  evaluates the recoverability  of  the  net  carrying
value of its real estate and any related assets.  As part of this
evaluation, the Partnership assesses, among other things, whether
there has been a significant decrease in the market value of  any
of  its properties.  If events or circumstances indicate that the
net  carrying  value  of a property may not be  recoverable,  the
expected  future net cash flows from the property  are  estimated
for a period of approximately five years (or a shorter period  if
the  Partnership  expects that the property may  be  disposed  of
sooner),  along with estimated sales proceeds at the end  of  the
period.   If  the total of these future undiscounted  cash  flows
were  less than the carrying amount of the property, the property
would  be  written down to its fair value as determined (in  some
cases  with  the  assistance of outside real estate  consultants)
based  on  discounted  cash  flows,  and  a  loss  on  impairment
recognized by a charge to earnings.

Because the determination of fair value is based upon projections
of  future  economic  events  such as property  occupancy  rates,
rental  rates, operating cost inflation and market capitalization
rates  which  are  inherently subjective, the amounts  ultimately
realized  at  disposition  may differ  materially  from  the  net
carrying  value as of October 31, 1998. The cash  flows  used  to
evaluate  the  recoverability of the properties and to  determine
fair  value  are  based on good faith estimates  and  assumptions
developed by the Managing General Partner.  Unanticipated  events
and   circumstances  may  occur  and  some  assumptions  may  not
materialize;  therefore,  actual  results  may  vary   from   the
estimates and the variances may be material.  The Partnership may
provide  additional  write-downs  which  could  be  material   in
subsequent  years  if  real  estate  markets  or  local  economic
conditions change.

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Deferred  leasing commissions are amortized over  the  applicable
lease terms.

Rental income is accrued on a straight-line basis over the  terms
of  the  leases. Accruals in excess of amounts payable by tenants
pursuant  to  their  leases (resulting from rent  concessions  or
rents  which periodically increase over the term of a lease)  are
recorded as receivables and included in other assets.

Net income (loss) per Unit amounts are calculated by dividing net
income  (loss) allocated to Limited Partners, in accordance  with
the  Partnership  Agreement, by the weighted  average  number  of
Units outstanding.

No  provision  for  income taxes has been made in  the  financial
statements,  since the liability for such taxes is  that  of  the
partners rather than the Partnership.

For income tax purposes, Partnership results are reported for the
calendar  year.  The accounting policies used for  tax  reporting
purposes  differ  from  those  used for  financial  reporting  as
follows:   (a)  depreciation  is  calculated  using   accelerated
methods,  (b)  rental income is recognized based on  the  payment
terms in the applicable leases, and (c) writedowns for impairment
of  real estate are not deductible.  In addition, offering  costs
are treated differently for tax and financial reporting purposes.
The  tax  basis  of the Partnership's assets and  liabilities  is
approximately $7.0 million higher than the amounts  reported  for
financial statement purposes.

The  implementation in 1998 of Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  ("Statement")  No.  128,  "Earnings  per  Share"   and
Statement  No.  129,  "Disclosure of  Information  about  Capital
Structure"   effective  for  the  Partnership's   1998   year-end
financial statements did not have any impact on the Partnership's
financial statements.

Two  additional accounting pronouncements will be  effective  for
the  Partnership's 1999 financial statements.  Statement No. 130,
"Reporting   Comprehensive  Income"  establishes  standards   for
reporting and display of

comprehensive  income  and its components.   Statement  No.  131,
"Disclosures  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise   and   Related
Information" establishes standards for
reporting  information  about  operating  segments  and   related
disclosures  about products and services, geographic  areas,  and
major  customers.   The Partnership does not believe  that  these
Statements   will   have  any  effect  on  its   computation   or
presentation of net income or other disclosures.

3.  Partnership Agreement

The  Partnership Agreement provides that distributable  cash,  as
defined, will be paid 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to  the
General Partners.

Sale  or  financing proceeds will be distributed, to  the  extent
available, first, to each Limited Partner, until there has been a
return  of  the  Limited  Partner's  capital  contribution   plus
cumulative  distributions  of  distributable  cash  and  sale  or
financing  proceeds  in  an amount sufficient  to  provide  a  9%
cumulative  annual  return  on  the  Limited  Partner's  adjusted
capital   contribution.   Thereafter,  any  remaining   sale   or
financing  proceeds  will  be  distributed  85%  to  the  Limited
Partners  and  15%  to the General Partners  after  the  Managing
General Partner receives a brokerage fee, if earned, of up to  3%
of the selling price of any equity investment.

Taxable income generally is allocated in the same proportions  as
distributions of distributable cash or sale or financing proceeds
(except  that the General Partners must be allocated at least  1%
of  taxable income from sales or financings).  In the event there
is  no  distributable cash or sale or financing proceeds, taxable
income  will be allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and 10%  to
the  General Partners.  Any tax loss will be allocated 90% to the
Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners.

Distributions paid to the Limited Partners during the year  ended
October 31, 1998 included a return of capital, determined as cash
distributed per Unit in excess of accumulated earnings  per  Unit
not   previously   distributed,  of   $351.10   per   Unit.   All
distributions  paid to Limited Partners during  the  years  ended
October  31,  1997  and 1996 are considered to  be  a  return  of
capital.

                                         $6,677,093   $10,624,347

In  the  first  quarter of fiscal 1996, in  accordance  with  the
impairment evaluation policy described in Note 2, the Partnership
evaluated  the recoverability of its investments in  real  estate
and  concluded  that,  based on revised expectations  as  to  the
holding  periods  of  the properties, the  Partnership  would  be
unable  to recover its investments in the North Lake Plaza,  1718
Connecticut,   Westwood   10   and   Carmel   Park    properties.
Accordingly, the Partnership wrote these properties down to their
estimated  fair  values  (based on  independent  appraisals)  and
recorded losses on impairment totaling $8,510,000.

the  Harborgate  property, which was added to  the  Partnership's
cash reserves.

      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of October 31, 1997, the aggregate net carrying values of the
Westwood 10 and Carmel Park I and II buildings were classified
as real estate held for sale. 

In   accordance  with  the  Partnership  Agreement,  all  of  the
distributed  net  sales proceeds were paid 100%  to  the  Limited
Partners,  and all gains from property sales were allocated  100%
to the Limited Partners.
6.   Investment in Joint Venture

Century Square, Pasadena, California

In  1985,  the  Partnership purchased, for $9.7  million,  a  25%
general  partnership  interest in  the  partnership  (the  "Joint
Venture")  which  owned  the property, an  office  building.   An
affiliate   of   the  Partnership,  Dean  Witter  Realty   Income
Partnership  II,  L.P.,  purchased  the  remaining  75%   general
partnership  interest.  Cash flow and  profits  and  losses  were
allocated to the Partnership and the affiliate according to their
interests in the Joint Venture.

On  April  10,  1997, the Joint Venture sold the property  to  an
unaffiliated party for $41,500,000 ($40,800,000, net  of  closing
costs).   The  Partnership's share of the net sales proceeds  was
approximately $10.2 million.  The Partnership's share of the gain
on  sale was approximately $2.2 million, which was allocated 100%
to  the  Limited  Partners  in accordance  with  the  Partnership
Agreement.

Summarized  results  of operations of the Joint  Venture  are  as
follows:

7.  Leases

Minimum  future  rental  income  under  noncancellable  operating
leases of the North Lake Plaza property as of October 31, 1998 is
as follows:

          Year ending October 31:
          1999                  $  719,137
          2000                     729,380
          2001                     667,748
          2002                     554,744
          2003                     186,905
          Total                 $2,857,914

The  Partnership has determined that all of the property's leases
are  operating leases.  The lease terms range from three to eight
years,  and generally provide for fixed minimum rents with rental
escalation and/or expense reimbursement clauses.

8.  Related Party Transactions

An  affiliate  of the Managing General Partner provided  property
management  services for the North Lake Plaza,  Carmel  Park  and
Westwood  10  properties  in  1998; the  affiliate  managed  five
properties in 1997 and 1996.  The Partnership paid the  affiliate
management  fees of approximately $58,000, $191,000 and  $226,000
for   the   years  ended  October  31,  1998,  1997,  and   1996,
respectively.   These amounts are included in property  operating
expenses.

Another  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  performs
administrative functions and processes certain investor  and  tax
information on behalf of the Partnership.  In 1998, 1997 and 1996
the  affiliate  was reimbursed approximately $159,000,  $240,000,
and    $259,000,   respectively   (included   in   general    and
administrative expenses) for these services.





<PAGE>
          DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



As  of  October  31, 1998, the affiliates were owed approximately
$17,000 for these services.

Prior  to  1990, the Partnership borrowed funds from an affiliate
of  the  Managing  General Partner to fund  the  cost  of  tenant
improvements,   capital   expenditures  and   other   Partnership
expenditures.  The loan bore interest at the prime rate. In  June
1996, the loan was repaid with a portion of the proceeds from the
sale  of  the 1718 Connecticut Avenue property.  Interest expense
from this loan was $218,159 in 1996.

Through  January 31, 1995, the General Partners deferred  receipt
of  an  aggregate amount of $2,467,674 of distributions to  which
they   were  entitled;  amounts  deferred  were  charged  against
partners'  capital  and recorded as liabilities  to  the  General
Partner.  Beginning with the February 28, 1995 distribution,  the
General  Partners began to receive their distributions currently.
In  September 1996, the Partnership paid $1,233,837  of  deferred
distributions, and, in November 1996, paid the remaining deferred
distributions to the General Partners.

9.  Litigation

Various public partnerships sponsored by Dean Witter Realty  Inc.
(including the Partnership and its Managing General Partner) were
defendants  in  a class action lawsuit.  On July  17,  1998,  the
Delaware Chancery Court granted the defendant's motion to dismiss
the complaint in the lawsuit.  On August 14, 1998, the plaintiffs
filed  a notice of appeal from the Court's order.  On January  6,
1999,  the  Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Chancery  Court's
dismissal of the complaint.

All  of  the  outstanding shares of common stock of the  Managing
General Partner are owned by Realty, a Delaware corporation which
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter & Co.
The  general  partner of the Associate General  Partner  is  Dean
Witter  Realty Income Associates I Inc., which is a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Managing General Partner.  The limited  partner
of  the  Associate  General Partner is LSA 84  L.P.,  a  Delaware
limited  partnership.   Realty and  certain  current  and  former
officers  and  directors of Realty are partners of  LSA  84  L.P.
Additional   information  with  respect  to  the  directors   and
executive  officers  and  compensation of  the  Managing  General
Partner and affiliates is contained in Items 10 and 11 above.

The  General Partners and their affiliates were paid certain fees
and reimbursed for certain expenses.  Information concerning such
fees   and  reimbursements  is  contained  in  Note  8   to   the
Consolidated   Financial  Statements  in  Item  8   above.    The
Partnership   believes  that  the  payment  of   fees   and   the
reimbursement  of  expenses  to the General  Partners  and  their
affiliates  are on terms as favorable as would be  obtained  from
unrelated third parties.
